The Cladonychiidae are a small family of harvestman with about 33 described species, within the suborder Laniatores.
==Description== Members of this family range from less than two to about four millimeters in body length, with robust, spined pedipalps and rather short legs, although the second pair can be as long as two centimeter. Most Cladonychiidae are reddish brown to dark brown, but cave-dwelling species are pale yellow. Not all species have eyes.
